Samantha the sexbot needs a voice – and you could make money just by putting words into her mouth

But those lifelike lovers are nothing without a personality, and manufacturers have realised just how important it is to nail sex robots’ voices as well as their looks.

Developer Dr Sergi Santos, who wants his £2,500 sex robots to be more than just silicone, has launched a website where customers can download custom voice packages for their AI lovers.

Different voices, including romantic, sexual and even family-themed packages, can be put on a memory card and then plugged into the bot, letting owners change their personalities as and when they please.

The site, called VoiceBook, accepts anonymous submissions from women willing to lend their voice to Samantha, the intelligent sex robot so realistic that men have started falling in love her.

Voices for the bot, which went on sale last month, are already available online – but the creator wants customers to have access to even more options alongside Samantha’s default speech package.

And now the Daily Star reports that there’s money to be made for women willing to put words into Samantha’s silicone mouth.
